Everyone has the right to worship, whether seen or unseen gods. The term Occult means knowledge that "is meant only for certain people" or that "must be kept hidden", but for most practicing occultists it is simply the study of a deeper spiritual reality that extends beyond pure reason and the physical sciences.

Your occultists, rapists and very poor imams should rather be arrested for using the evil quran to send jinns or demons to kill and make people mad.

It is a methodist school. No one forced them to choose a methodist school. They should be dismissed if they are found guilty.

What is this lawyer talking about. Right to worship? Hmmm.!!!School authorities going against the constitution? I hope the school is also guided by rules and regulations. The school should act strictly on their rules. Anyway is Occultism a recognized religion in Gh? That is even if is a religion. U now see why these mission schools needed to be managed totally by the various churches. If the churches completely own and manage their schools, I don't think this soo called lawyer will say that authorities are against the right of these students. Because the methodist doctrine would have been fully inculcated in them. lawless country, will always find means to defend the indefensible all in the name of law.If am not mistaken, I think this third class lawyer would be a member.But please Mr.lawyer we have only 3 recognized religions in Gh.

No teacher is going to talk when a pupil/student is found going way ward, since their minds has been polluted by human right activist, politicians and other religious bodies that a teacher has no right to discipline a pupil/student so it good for the nation.

Foolish lawyer. Go to the schools and find out what is happening. Schools have rules and I believe students were not congregating in dense bushes in the thick of the night chanting and ranting. Not surprising that results are nowadays so bad and students are now looking for apo instead of studying. WGHS authorities know where they are coming from. Through prophesies the school had very poor results some years back. Revisit secondary schools from the 60's to the present day and see the difference.

What the lawyer said is true but thing is every institution has its own ethos. Wesley Girls is a Methodist institution ( I stand for correction) so they don't practice occultism there. It is a strict religious institution set up to advance some specific values. Occultism is certainly not one of those values. So if you are there, you've got to go by their rules! If the lawyer says they should be allowed to practice occultism, then the Moslems there should also be allowed to pray every hour! Then the traditional believers will also do their own thing. Chaos is the results! So it's either those students shape up or ship out! Simple!

MANAGING THE SCHOOL FINANCED BY THE TAX-PAYER DOES NOT CONFER EXCLUSIVE RIGHT FOR CHRISTIAN INDOCTRINATION. PRACTISING OTHER RELIGIONS IS GUARANTEED BY THE CONSTITUTION.

In a democratic country like Germany, we hwave a minority who are Satan Worshippers - yes, SATAN worshippers, who always dress in BLACK only. Yet No schol can ban or refuse them admission.

In democracy, every individual has the right to freedom of worship.

Of what use is religion (worshipping God) if you are still corrupt? Upon all our piousness , we are still corrupt to the bone and destroying Ghana.

Must everyone be forced to worship my God through Jesus? Isn't that what Al queda, ISIS, and the Taliban do? That everyone must worship their Allah through Mohammed?

If we do not grant people the freedom of worship or no worship, then we are also religious extremists, just like Al queda, ISIS,and the Taliban.

I believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit but I will not impose my belief on anyone who is not willing to accept my belief. When we leave this world, we will account to our creator what we did with our lives whilst he on earth? E no be so? E be so!
